Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 208 My hand is broken!

"drink!"

Deidara stood in the air and let out a fierce shout.

A flock of clay bomb birds surrounding Gaara flapped their wings a few times, and then exploded right next to him.

Unfortunately, the explosive power of the clay birds was not enough to penetrate Gaara's sand shield defense, and could only barely make Gaara pay attention to the threat posed by these small birds.

Deidara, laughing and joking, blew up a bunch of things, but not only did he not hurt Gaara in the slightest, he was chased around by Gaara's giant sand hand.

This guy is really having a lot of fun!

Standing in Sunagakure, Uehara Naraku, Nagato, and Sasori were a little bored, watching as the Sunagakure ninjas repeatedly charged at the ancient dragon, only to be easily defeated time and time again.

Nagato frowned, looking at the group of Sand Village ninja who had been knocked down around him, and couldn't help but ask, "Has Sunagakure always been this weak?"

"Well…"

Sasori of the Red Sand was momentarily speechless.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Sasori finally found a reason: "These little guys haven't experienced real war. If Grandma were in charge, she should be able to organize an effective counterattack!"

What Scorpion said really flattered his grandmother.

Given the current situation in Sunagakure, they have been ambushed by two Akatsuki teams, especially with Uehara Naraku and Nagato involved. Even if their grandmother came, or even if the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Kazekage came, it wouldn't make a difference!

Sometimes, being proven wrong comes very quickly.

Just after Sasori of the Red Sand finished speaking, two elderly figures appeared in Sunagakure: Granny Chiyo and Ebizo.

After the Fourth Kazekage passed away a few years ago, Chiyo and Ebizo, who came out of seclusion to stabilize Sunagakure during a time of crisis, were regarded as saviors by the Sunagakure ninja.

Now that Sunagakure has been attacked by Akatsuki, it is once again in danger of being destroyed. The Sunagakure ninja finally couldn't resist and sent people to ask the two retired elders to come forward.

Chiyo and Ebizo did not mince words.

Upon seeing the ninja seeking help, the two elderly people immediately rushed to Sunagakure. They had witnessed the rise and fall of Sunagakure firsthand, so how could they allow the village to fall into crisis!

Granny Chiyo leaped and landed on a tall tower.

The frail old woman gazed solemnly at the Crimson Sand Scorpion on the back of the ancient dragon, and said in a deep voice, "It's been so long... my dear grandson..."

Sasori of the Red Sand: "..."

They should have felt that the Akatsuki organization had the upper hand.

However, after hearing Granny Chiyo's words, both Uehara Naraku and Sasori Akasuna felt that their momentum had weakened considerably.

Damn it, one of my teammates got called a grandson by the enemy...

They couldn't even refute it!

Uehara Naraku glanced speechlessly at Sasori beside him, then turned to look at Granny Chiyo and the group of Sand Village ninja behind her: "Alright, now that Granny Chiyo is here, let's see how they organize their counterattack!"

"Let me do it!"

Sasori of the Red Sand stopped Uehara Naraku from controlling the ancient dragon and said in a gloomy voice, "To deal with Granny, this dragon alone is far from enough."

After saying that, Sasori of the Red Sand took out two scrolls from his body, one of which had the number three written on it and the other had the number four written on it.

A cloud of smoke rose.

The puppets of the Third and Fourth Kazekage appeared beside Sasori of the Red Sand, and the chakra threads in his hands rushed towards Granny Chiyo!

"The third and fourth generation!"

"It's the Fourth Kazekage!"

Every Sand Village ninja involuntarily looked at the two human puppets!

Who would have thought that the two Kazekage who once protected the village would become weapons in the hands of the enemy and be used to attack Sunagakure!

"Sealing Technique - Open!"

Chiyo, not to be outdone, flicked her wrist and opened two scrolls.

One of the scrolls says "Father," and the other says "Mother."

These two obviously subpar puppets appeared beside Chiyo, and she manipulated them to face the puppets of the Third and Fourth Kazekage!

"cut!"

Sasori of the Red Sand snorted coldly, and the gold dust beside the Fourth Kazekage and the magnet beside the Third Kazekage quickly turned into senbon needles!

Black and gold senbon needles densely covered the sky, and the next moment these needles shot towards Chiyo.

"Machine-Light Shield Seal!"

Granny Chiyo instantly manipulated her father and mother's puppets to land in front of her, transforming them into a shield that blocked the densely packed senbon.

"snort!"

Sasori of the Red Sand stared coldly at the shield, his fingers twitching slightly. Instantly, the Third and Fourth Kazekage flew into the sky, and gold dust and magnets condensed around them once more!

The next moment, the densely packed magnets and gold dust transformed into a giant black-gold wave that swept towards the Sand Ninja forces and Granny Chiyo on the ground!

It must be said that Sasori's strength increased dramatically after acquiring the puppets of the Third and Fourth Kazekage.

The two Kazekage puppets, both possessing Magnet Release bloodline abilities, can play a role far beyond the simple 1+1=2!

Even Granny Chiyo and the Sand Ninja could not survive in these golden waves; they could only retreat quickly to avoid being submerged.

"My chakra is being used up so much..."

Sasori sighed and turned to Uehara Naraku: "Hey, Uehara, go urge that brat Deidara to hurry up. I don't want to waste any more time here!"

"..."

Uehara Naraku glanced at Sasori of the Red Sand speechlessly.

Brother, we can understand if you want to go easy on your grandma, but could you at least do it in a more tasteful way?

You've only exchanged two blows with Chiyo!

If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd attacked two countries!

"Senior Scorpion."

Uehara Naraku rolled up his sleeves, slowly walked to his side, and clasped his hands together: "You step back and rest first, let me do it..."

Sasori of the Red Sand stubbornly shook his head and said coldly, "Are you looking down on me? I'm just getting impatient! You're not good enough to deal with Granny, kid. Puppet masters aren't as simple as you think!"

Even if he wanted to slack off, there was a supervisor nearby!

Sasori gritted his teeth, leaped into the air, and charged forward, manipulating the puppets of the Third and Fourth Kazekage, engaging in a fierce battle with Granny Chiyo.

Granny Chiyo was not going to show any weakness. Even though she was able to stabilize the situation slightly by using her father and mother's puppets to fight Sasori of the Red Sand, it did nothing to help the situation in Sunagakure.

After all, her arrival was to save Sunagakure, not to lure out Sasori, a terrifying member of the Akatsuki!

"The White Secret Technique: The Ten Ninja of Chikamatsu!"

Granny Chiyo waved her hand and summoned the Chikamatsu Ten, her ten most powerful puppets, each with its own unique techniques!

"Still the same as always!"

Sasori looked up at the Chikamatsu Ten, then suddenly threw off his Hiruko mask, revealing his true face!

A scorpion who looks like a young man.

If we consider age, Sasori of the Red Sand should be in his thirties this year, but he still looks exactly the same as when he was a teenager.

Granny Chiyo succinctly revealed the truth in a single sentence, her body trembling slightly: "You... you've turned yourself into a puppet!"

"Only in this way can eternal art be achieved."

Sasori of the Red Sand slowly unrolled a scroll.

Yes, Sasori of the Red Sand turned himself into a human puppet.

It was precisely because he became a human puppet that he was able to become immortal.

However, this is something that puppeteers are absolutely forbidden from doing. Even turning someone else's corpse into a human puppet is already a forbidden technique, let alone Sasori of the Red Sand turning himself into a puppet.

Anyone present could see that Granny Chiyo was very angry.

Uehara Naraku sat atop the ancient dragon's head, stroked his chin, turned to look at Nagato, and asked, "Sigh, this means Sasori-senpai can't marry and have children to carry on the family line! No wonder the old woman was so angry..."

"..."

Nagato glanced at Uehara speechlessly. Was this the time for them to discuss this? What business was it of ours whether Sasori of the Red Sand could marry and have children?

But speaking of which…

The reason why Granny Chiyo was so angry might really be as Uehara Naraku said: because her only grandson had become a human puppet, and the family line would end thereafter.

Nagato rubbed his forehead. Why was he thinking about all that nonsense?

No, this isn't just random nonsense.

Nagato patted Uehara Naraku on the shoulder with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Don't learn those messy forbidden techniques. Don't be like Sasori. Akatsuki's future still needs you to carry on its legacy."

"Uehara, besides fulfilling Yahiko's dream, Minami and I really just wanted to see you get married and have children. You're twenty years old this year, aren't you?"

"Don't say that."

Uehara Naraku's face hardened, and he slowly pushed his hand away: "We're still in Sunagakure capturing the One-Tailed Jinchuriki. Be serious and put away your dangerous thoughts."

Nagato: "..."

They seemed to be the only two people who were truly relaxed on the entire battlefield!

The battle between Sasori of the Red Sand and Granny Chiyo had reached a fever pitch, and he unleashed hundreds of red-clad puppets: "Crimson Secret Technique: Hundred Puppet Manipulation!"

Seemingly to prove his efforts, Sasori of the Red Sand directly used his signature forbidden technique, and hundreds of puppets instantly defeated the Sand Ninja around Granny Chiyo, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Chikamatsu Ten!

Before long, hundreds of red-clad puppets suffered heavy losses.

Sasori's Hundred Machine Maneuvers and the Chikamatsu Ten Warriors fought to a draw, resulting in mutual destruction.

Just as Sasori was about to continue manipulating the puppets of the Third and Fourth Kazekage to fight, Deidara in the air finally completed his mission.

Deidara, riding his clay bird, landed on the back of the ancient dragon and hurriedly shouted, "Hey, come and heal me! My hand is broken!"

Two more chapters to go, it's evening!
